The body of Sergei Ananyev, press service head of the East Siberian organised crime department, was found on 8 November 1995 in a pond in the Pervomaisky suburb of Irkutsk.
Ananyev went missing seven months earlier on 8 March. His gun was missing but specialists could not at first detect signs of a violent death. They later concluded he had been viciously murdered by four teenagers and a trial was held in June 2000. The motive for the attack and the outcome of the trial are not known.
